Building this together

The White Lung-Ta is not a donation campaign. It is a design-and-material partnership with a circular story: from a family kitchen in the hills of Nepal to a printed cloth in a shop window on your street.

We are currently exploring partnerships for Phase 1, including a textile partner, a strategic design partner and a field collaborator, to help launch the first measured pilot in Nepal and turn the reclaimed soot into a visible, collectible design object.

Textile & craft partner

A textile partner would provide certified cotton offcuts or low-commercial-value production remnants for the pilot's behavioural tracking devices, and could later support a small retail storytelling moment to present the outcomes of the collaboration.

Material sourcing & compliance - certified zero commercial value (NCV) cotton offcuts or production remnants
Manufacture at pilot scale - material allocation sized for 300-500 units
Post-pilot retail storytelling - prospective installation at partner locations, subject to future agreement

Design & culture partner

Commission a Nepali artist to work in reclaimed soot-ink, fund the shop-window installation, and shape the impact story around it.
